The fauna, flora and landscapes of the Dean in pictures

Wild Boar

Here’s one of the two proud Mums. Wild Boar are very elusive animals, and notoriously difficult to see. This will sound incredibly hypocritical in the context of these photos, but they shouldn’t be approached, particularly when with their young. You can’t outrun a wild boar! I’ve been watching the boar for about two years, and getting good natural shots of them exhibiting some of the behaviour I’ve captured has long been a goal of mine. A large number of the shots won’t be going on Flickr, and all have been drastically reduced in size. I know a lot of people don’t share my enthusiasm for the boar… I’ll try to chuck in some non-boar photos soon 🙂
